(III) Benjamin, son of John (2) and Han- nah Winchester, was born probably in Brook- line, Massachusetts, and is supposed to be identi- cal with the Benjamin Winchester who in 1727 bought lands in Framingham, where his brother Ebenezer had preceded him by about ten years; and he is also supposed to be the same Benjamin Winchester who afterward lived in Grafton, Massachusetts, and is mentioned as one of the "alarm soldiers who remained in the town on duty, or who could be called to- gether by Rev. Mr. Hutchinson, during the French and Indian war." . In the Grafton records his name is written Wintchester, and in the same list in which his name appears arc the names of Joseph and John Wintchester, who doubtless were brothers of Benjamin, although the Joseph mentioned in the list may have been a son of Benjamin Winchester.
(IV) Joseph, probably a son of Benjamin Winchester, lived in Grafton, Massachusetts, until about 1772, when he removed with his family to Marlboro, Vermont, and spent the remainder of his days there. According to one private record he had five sons and one daughter, the former of whom were Luther, Benjamin, Joseph, Asa and Joshua. The vital
records of Grafton show, however, that on April 15, 1756, Joseph Winchester married Lucy Harrington, born Grafton, May 13, 1730, daughter of Isaac and Miriam Harrington, of Grafton; and that their children born in that town were as follows: I. Anna, November 6, 1757. 2. Huldah, September 17, 1758. 3. Benjamin, January 4, 1761. 4. Asa, March 24, 1763. 5. Joseph, October 27, 1765. 6. Joshua, March 20, 1768. 7. Antipas, Febru- ary 9, 1771. 8. Luther, August 17, 1773. From this it is evident that some of the children of Joseph and Lucy must have been born after the family removed to Vermont, and such is known to have been the fact.
(V) Luther, son of Joseph and Lucy (Har- rington) Winchester, was born in Marlboro, Vermont, August 17, 1773, and for many years was one of the foremost men of that town. He was a farmer, thrifty and energetic, and through his own unaided efforts succeeded in accumulating a fortune which is said to have amounted to twenty thousand dollars. He married, December 9 (or 19), 1793, Elizabeth Warren, who died in Marlboro, October IO, 1853, aged seventy-four years. He died Jan- uary 30, 1853. Children, all born in Marl- boro: I. Antipas, October 6, 1794. 2. Clark, December 30, 1796, died January II, 1861. 3. Betsey, May 26, 1799, died June 9, 1843; married Willad Snow. 4. William Ward, Au- gust 16, 1801, died May 20, 1881. 5. Hannah, October 24, 1803, died December 27, 1889. 6. Luther, July 6, 1806, died July 25, 1874. 7. Isaac Harrington, December 25, 1809, died September 21, 1876. 8. John Quincy Adams, 1817, died October 2, 1877.
(VI) Antipas, son of Joseph and Eliz- abeth (Warren) Winchester, was born in Marlboro, Vermont, October 6, 1794, died May 19, 1871. Like his father he was an extensive and progressive farmer and a promi- nent man in the town. He married, January 2, 1822, Lois Kelsey ; children: I. Williston, born September 29, 1822, died February 23, 1902. 2. Eunice, November 26, 1823, married, May 13, 1847, Dolphus P. Warren. 3. Reuben, January 7, 1825. 4. Lois, March 5, 1826, died February 5, 1899; married, March 21, 1850, Perry Hall, died February 5, 1899 (they died within half an hour of each other and neither knew of the death of the other. 5. Betsey, October 23, 1827, died November 30, 1900; married, May 13, 1847, Ira Ingram. 6. Asa, February 2, 1829, died August 27, 1902 ; mar- ried, May 5, 1853, Elizabeth Houghton. 7. A daughter, March 8, 1830, died in extreme

infancy. 8. Anthony Seymour, May 31, 1831, died September 20, 1850. 9. Clark, March 30, 1833, died September 6, 1835. 10. Polly Ann, November 14, 1834, died June 4, 1897 ; married, February 3, 1869, William B. Adams. II. A daughter, October 9, 1836, died soon. 12. Sarah A., November 15, 1837, married, April 5, 1855, Rufus A. Houghton.
(VII) Reuben, son of Antipas and Lois (Kelsey) Winchester, was born in Marlboro, Vermont, January 7, 1825, died in Holyoke, Masachusetts, May 26, 1906. Until he attained the age of twenty years Reuben Winchester lived at home on his father's farm, and up to that time had given all of his earnings to his father, for he was an industrious and duti- ful son. The principles of honesty and per- sonal integrity were instilled in his mind when he was a boy at his mother's knee, and he never forgot them and always practiced them to the last day of his life. When old enough to start out in life for himself he began dealing in cattle, buying and selling, later added pro- duce dealing to his business interests and soon became one of the most extensive dealers in that part of the state. At various times he owned many yokes of cattle, and often said that he had bought and sold more than five hundred yokes of broken cattle, oxen and steers. He is said to have been an intelligent and progressive man in every sense of the word, and his judgment on questions of local and general interest was considered standard authority. And Mr. Winchester was a man of the highest integrity, a firm believer in what in recent times has been called the "square
deal," doing always unto others as he would have them do unto himself. Such was the man, and such was his character. His busi- ness life was rewarded with substantial suc- cess and he richly deserved the full measure thereof. In politics a strong Democrat, he nevertheless enjoyed the confidence of the peo- ple of his town without distinction of party, and he was elected to the state legislature with Republican votes. About 1865 Mr. Winchester removed from Marlboro to West Springfield, Masachusetts, and purchased a farm in that town, paying for the same in cash to the amount of $6,800, every dollar of which he had earned in business pursuits. At that time the payment of so great a sum for farm land was considered quite unusual, for then, just at the close of the civil war, money was scarce and gold at a premium. Mr. Winchester was not a church member, but he was an upright man and honest in his daily walk. He mar- i-7
ried, February 19, 1850, Hannah K. Brown, of whose family mention is made in these annals. Children : 1. Samuel B., October 2, 1852, died March 26, 1906; married, July 22, 1875, Emily A. Morse, and had Florence E., born June 21, 1876, died in infancy, and Florida M., born Feb- ruary 17, 1878. 2. Reuben Clark, November 10, 1857. 3. William L., October 23, 1865, died July 14, 1903; married, June 6, 1895, Addie E. Stockwell, and had Miriam Stockwell, born March 31, 1896, and Reuben Stockwell, Feb- ruary 26, 1902.
(VIII) Reuben Clark, son of Reuben and Hannah K. ( Brown) Winchester, was born in Marlboro, Vermont, November 10, 1857, and was a boy of less than ten years when his father removed from Vermont and settled in West Springfield. He received his education in the public schools of that town, Holyoke high school, from which he graduated in 1875, and Eastman's Business College. After leav- ing the latter institution he began his business career as office boy in the service of the Hol- yoke Water Power Company and with the exception of a period of about six months he has been continuously in the employ of that great corporation, in one capacity or another, and constantly advancing until in January, 1903, he was elected to treasurer of the com- pany, which office he now holds. Mr. Win- chester is a strict, careful business man, and in many respects possesses the same character- istics as his father for honesty, integrity, and square business dealing. He married, Decem- ber 22, 1880, Mary A., daughter of William A. and Lucy A. (Lamb) Cole. Children: I. Faustina Hannan, September 12, 1881, died November 10, 1883. 2. Una May, October 14, 1883, graduated from Smith College, class of '04 ; married, October II, 1905, Henry C. War- nock, of Northampton, and has one child, Eunice Winchester Warnock. 3. Ralph Cole, July 15, 1886, died February, 1900.
(I) Jethro Brown is said to BROWN have been progenitor of a num- erous family of Stonington, Connecticut ; and more than that he served with great credit to himself and his descend- ants as a soldier and sailor in service during the French and Indian war in 1756. As a soldier he frequently was on scout duty on the frontier of white settlement, and as a sailor his service is said to have been on board a privateer. After his marriage he left Con- necticut and went to Keene, New Hampshire, remained there a short time and then removed

to Putney, Vermont, and purchased fifty acres of land in the Connecticut valley, but in the course of a few years he felt the need of more land and then went into the town of Marl- boro and bought "Right No. 48," in 1787, improved it and spent the remainder of his life in that town. He died February 26, 1813, aged eighty-six years. He married Molly Haynes, of Groton, Connecticut, who died March 10, 1817, aged eighty-four years. Chil- dren: I.

(The Whitney Line).
The surname Whitney, originally written de Whitney, is said to have been derived from the name of the parish where the castle stood. Aluard, a Saxon, held the land before the conquest, but at the time of "Doomsday Sur- vey," A. D., 1086, it was waste, without an owner, save the king as lord paramount. A grandson or great-grandson of Sir Turstin, one of the conqueror's knights, known as Turstin of Fleming, sometime between 1100 and 1200, engaging in the border wars, built a stronghold and took up his abode at Whit- ney, on the banks of the Wye, and thus after the eustom of the period acquired the sur- names of de Whitney. The first mention of a de Whitney in any extant record is that of Robert de Wytteneye, in the "Testa de Nevil," A. D., 1242.
(I) Sir Robert Whitney was knighted by Queen Mary in 1553 and represented Here- fordshire in the parliament.
(II) Thomas, son of Sir Robert Whitney, was born in Herefordshire, and went to live at Lambeth Marsh, near the Surrey end of Westminster bridge. May 10, 1583, he seeured a license to marry Mary, daughter of John Bray. In the license he is described as Thomas Whytney, of Lambeth Marsh, gentleman, and on May 12 the marriage ceremony was per- formed in St. Margaret's. Nine children were born of this marriage, but only three of them grew to maturity, John, Francis and Robert. Of these Franeis died in Westminster, 1643, Robert in the parish of St. Peter's, Cornhill, London, 1662, and John emigrated to New England and settled down at Watertown in the colony of Massachusetts Bay. It is of him and one line of his descendants that we have particularly to deal in this place.
(III) John, son of Thomas and Mary (Bray) Whitney, was born in 1589, receiving a good education, probably in the famous Westminster School (now St. Peter's Col- lege), and at the age of fourteen was appren- ticed by his father to William Pring, of the
99
MASSACHUSETTS.
Old Bailey, London, a freeman of the Mer- chant Tailors' Company, the most prosper- ous of all of the trade guilds, including in its membership men of all professions and many of the nobility. March 13, 1614, being then twenty-one years old, John Whitney became a member of the company, soon afterward mar- ried. and in 1619 went to live at Islesworth- on-the-Thames, eight miles from Westminster, remained there until 1624, then went probably to London and lived in that city until he sailed for America. Early in April, 1635, he reg- istered with his wife Elinor and five sons as passengers in the "Elizabeth and Ann," and sailed for New England. In June, 1635, he settled in Watertown, was made freeman, 1636, selectman, 1637, and held the latter office until 1655, when he was elected town clerk. As early as 1641 he was appointed by the gen- eral court constable at Watertown, an office of much dignity and the incumbent of which then was regarded as a man of consequence and influence. He was the grantee of eight lots in Watertown, the purchaser of sixteen other lots, and thus became possessed of a large estate. His wife Elinor died in 1659 and in the same year he married Judith Clem- ent. John Whitney died in June, 1673. He had nine children, all born of his first mar- riage.
(IV) John (2), son of John (1) and Elinor Whitney, was born in England in 1620, died in Watertown, Massachusetts, October 12, 1692. He was made freeman in 1647, and was a selectman in Watertown from 1673 to 1680. The name of John Whitney appears in a list of names of twenty men of the town who were impressed with provisions, arms and ammunition for the defense of the colony in 1675, during King Philip's war. His will was drawn by himself in 1685, signed it in 1690, and died before October 26, 1692, when the inventory of his property was made. In 1642 he married Ruth, daughter of Robert Reynolds, of Watertown, and by whom he had ten chil- dren.
(V) Nathaniel, son of John (2) and Ruth (Reynolds) Whitney, was born in Watertown, Massachusetts, February 1, 1646, died in Wes- ton, Massachusetts, January 7, 1732. The greater part of his life was spent in Weston, where he was a farmer, and the farm on which he lived was afterward in possession of his descendants for five or more generations. He married, March 12, 1673, Sarah Hagar, born September 3, 1651, died May 7, 1746, having borne her husband eight children.
(VI) Nathaniel (2), son of Nathaniel (I) and Sarah (Hagar) Whitney, was born in Weston, but did not spend his life in the town.
(VII) Samuel, son of Nathaniel (2) Whit- ney, was born in Weston about 1711 and died in Shrewsbury, Massachusetts, August 2, 1788. He went to Shrewsbury about 1743 and joined the church there in 1761. After his death his widow went to Marlboro, Vermont, to live with her children, and she died there at the home of her son, Deacon Jonas Whitney, Octo- ber 23, 1800, aged eighty-four years. Samuel Whitney went to Marlboro in 1769, and in the spring of the next year made a quantity of maple sugar. Soon afterward he removed to the west part of the town and settled on a farm which later was in possession of Ira Adams, and which farm is located on the easterly slope of Hogback Mountain. He enjoyed considerable local notoriety as a hunter of large game, and on one occasion with the aid of two of his sons killed a bear which dressed at four hundred and sixty-six pounds, said to have been the largest bear ever killed in Vermont. Although well on in years Cap- tain Whitney (he was known by that title) took a patriot's part in the revolutionary war, and on the occasion of the alarm at Lexington took his old musket and with Captain Warren went forward and offered his services for the common cause of the country. At the battle of Bennington, August, 1777, he was present and performed guard duty over the captured British. On April 7, 1735, he married Eliza- beth Hastings, of Watertown; children : Samuel, James, Elizabeth, Lucy, Lydia, Lacan- nah, Nathaniel, Jane, Sarah, Eliphalet and Hannah.
(VIII) Samuel (2), son of Samuel ( I) and Elizabeth (Hastings) Whitney, was born about 1740, died February 1, 18II. About ten years after his marriage he removed to Marl- boro, Vermont, and spent his life on the farm then owned by Mr. Adams, as is mentioned in a preceding paragraph. He married, in 1762, Phebe Harrington, of Grafton, Massachusetts ; eleven children, five of whom were born in Shrewsbury and six in Marlboro: I. Cath- erine, May 5, 1763, married S. C. Pratt. 2. Elizabeth, August 26, 1764, married Alson Pratt. 3. Moses, October 21, 1765, died De- cember 14, 1765. 4. Moses, January 26, 1767. 5. Gilford, January 2, 1769. 6. Samuel C .. April 18, 1772. 7. Miriam, June 10, 1776, married Lyman Brown (see Brown). S. Zenas, March 14, 1779. 9. Simei, April 10. 1781. 10. Phebe, January 7, 1786, married

Roswell Paddleford. II. Roswell, July 27, 1787, died May 3, 1790.
The antiquity of the HUTCHINSON Hutchinson family is very great. Its origin has been assigned to one Uitchensis, said to have been a Norwegian and to have come from Normandy with William the Conqueror, but there is no record of the family after the Con- quest until 1282, after which the history of the family is definitely known.

Nottinghamshire. He was the immigrant an- cestor, and came to America in 1634 with his wife Alice and four children, and settled in Salem, Massachusetts. He had a grant of land from Salem in 1636 and the next year a grant of twenty acres more, "provided he will set up a plough." It is said that at that time there were but thirty-seven ploughs in the entire colony. In 1664 he had another parcel of land granted him and in 1660 still another. This land was situated in the vicinity of
IOI

Hathorn's Hill, Beaver Dam brook, now called Beaver brook, which runs through Middleton into the Ipswich river. He and his wife were members of the Salem church at early as 1636. He bought a farm of a hundred and fifty acres at Salem Village, now Danvers, of Elias Still- man in 1648, and that was his homestead after- wards. He served on a committee of the town to survey Jeffrey's creek, now Man- chester, and Mackerel cove.
